I am on XF 1.5.13 and EDGE 1.5.12. I am going to update to XF 1.5.14 and EDGE 1.5.14. Should I first update to EDGE 1.5.13, or it is okaty to jump to 1.5.14 from 1.5.12 (of EDGE) after I update my XF to 1.5.14?

The way I have seen Russ explain it you would need to upgrade to 1.5.13 first since it's a pretty big update then upgrade to 1.5.14

Updated to latest version and no issues!
Nice work @Russ and @Steve!

Thanks @Russ. Just being over-cautious, can you please confirm if the following steps should be okay:

Currently I have XF 1.5.13, XB 1.5.12, EDGE 1.5.12

Update steps:
1. Update to XF 1.5.14
2. Update XB to 1.5.14 (e.g. skipping 1.5.13)
3. Update EDGE to 1.5.14 (e.g. skipping 1.5.13)

And yes, I have read the common issues in 1.5.13 threads, I just want to make sure skipping XB and EDGE 1.5.13 is not going to cause any issue.

Perfect , just export your styles prior to doing anything so you can revert back if you need too.

I did my very first XenForo upgrades tonight. First was upgrading XF and XFMG, then my styles. It went pretty smooth, but I was nervous as hell, since it was my first time. I did plenty of vB upgrades over 11 years. I can't say this was easier, but it certainly was faster. Next time will be easier (well, maybe not, if it's to upgrade to XF2) because I will know what to expect. But I had to read the instructions for everything like a half a dozen times before I did each step.

Done and it appears to be just as it should be. Thanks for a great product.
